48,000 Australians were hospitalised due to a fall in their residence in 2020. This number is set to increase, as Australia’s population ages. We set out to improve elderly safety, without compromising their independence.

What is ABC? In the world of #statistics, it stands for Approximate #Bayesian Computation. ACEMS' research assistant Abhishek Vargese @av_varg recently completed a @DiscoverAMSI VRES and wrote this blog about what he learned about ABC: https://t.co/c4YLmG4LcA

#QUT researchers have developed a new way to help predict and try to stop the spread of the ‘stubborn’ banana bunchy top virus #BBTV: https://t.co/pT9t51VTHw @PLOSCompBiol @QUTSciEng @KerrieMengersen @chris_drovandi @av_varg @ACEMathStats

Are you interested in disease management strategies and food security? Then read this new article modelling the spread of Banana Bunchy Top Virus from Varghese and colleagues: https://t.co/Dyn6vQHpoy @av_varg @ACEMathStats @KerrieMengersen @chris_drovandi

[Chris Drovandi @chris_drovandi]

Our paper on estimating a novel stochastic model for banana bunchy top virus via ABC is now published in PLOS Comp Bio. Led by the talented @av_varg and supported by @ACEMathStats . Open Access.

Thanks Kerrie! It's been a wonderful experience that has seen me learn a lot. Thanks for your support.

[Kerrie Mengersen @KerrieMengersen]

Our profession is in safe hands with people like @av_varg.
Still an undergrad, he has not only developed a new model but successfully addressed an important challenging problem that required trusted engagement with biosecurity experts, international researchers & farmers.

@ABC_Research Thanks Scott!
